I believe that in life, certain events remain imprinted in our minds forever and those events help shape who we become. For me one of these events occurred about 4 years ago when I entered a young female patient’s room to introduce myself and do my initial assessment. ... I kept going back to her room often and giving her extra care and attention, little by little she started to look at me more and talk to me. I even managed to make her laugh once. ... So I checked her lab results and assured her that her cardiac enzymes taken in the emergency rooms were negative, and that the feeling of a heart attack can easily occur as a a result of too much stress. ... I held her and let her cry . I assured her that there were people to help her out of her situation.
I followed all the proper procedure of setting up a meeting with a social worker and notifying her physician of her revelation. I continued giving her plenty of attention and care. ... During my change of shift report to the morning nurse, I emphasized about her abuse and her new decision to get out of it. I left the hospital feeling convinced that the patient was ready for this, and very proud for having made a connection with her so quickly.
